Killing with a Borrowed Knife
"Qimei, shall we form a team?
What do you think? "
Tang Chang led the Qi Cultivation Sword Sect disciples to Tong Qimei's side and smiled warmly.
Tong Qimei looked at Tang Chang indifferently and shook her head. "Senior Brother Tang, I've formed a team with Heavenly Demon Island."
With that, Tong Qimei led the Half Moon Hall cultivators towards Heavenly Demon Island's team.
The majority of the Half Moon Palace's disciples were beautiful female cultivators.
Although they were all beautiful women, all the cultivators in the arena were extremely wary of them.
Half Moon Hall was publicly acknowledged as the strongest sect among the Ten Major Sects. It was easy to imagine how powerful the disciples they nurtured were.
Moreover, they were led by Tong Qimei, the publicly acknowledged number one genius in the Star Field. Who would dare to provoke such a team?
Mo Fan and Yu Shan had vigilant looks in their eyes. They did not have any relationship with Tong Qimei. When they saw Tong Qimei coming over, their hearts started to pound. They were worried that Tong Qimei would attack their group.
"Looks like Heavenly Demon Island is out of luck!" You Tongying laughed coldly in his heart.
He was not the only one. The other cultivators in the arena had similar thoughts.
Tong Qimei did not care about Mo Fan and Yu Shan at all. Instead, she came in front of Zhuowen. After a moment of silence, she said coldly, "Senior Brother Zhuowen, you … How did you get out?"
At that moment, everyone in the arena was dumbfounded.
Although Tong Qimei was famous for her beauty and was extremely talented, everyone knew that Tong Qimei rarely came into contact with men. She even hated them.
Although Tong Qimei had many suitors, most of them were afraid of Tong Qimei and did not dare to get close to her.
Moreover, in all these years, they had never heard of Tong Qimei taking the initiative to approach a man.
But now, Tong Qimei had taken the initiative to approach an unknown man in front of everyone. She even took the initiative to talk to this unknown man. This was beyond everyone's expectations.
Tang Chang, who was originally slightly embarrassed, now looked extremely gloomy. He also did not expect Tong Qimei to approach an unknown man. Moreover, it was a cultivator with a low cultivation level that he did not take seriously.
Zhuowen ignored the jealous gazes around him and said with a smile, "I'm not too sure either. When I was sent out, I quietly entered the crowd and changed my appearance."
Tong Qimei glanced deeply at Zhuowen, and then she said with a smile, "Looking at Senior Brother Zhuo, you should be a disciple of Heavenly Devil Island, right?
Why have I never heard of such a peerless genius like you appearing in Heavenly Devil Island? "
"Senior Sister Tong might have misunderstood. Senior Brother Zhuo isn't a disciple of our Heavenly Devil Island. He's just a friend of Senior Brother Mo Fan and I." Yu Shan hurriedly explained.
Although Yu Shan had an unruly nature, she was still extremely wary of a monstrous genius like Tong Qimei. Hence, she spoke rather politely.
"So that's how it is. Since you are Senior Brother Zhuo's friend, you are also my, Tong Qimei's, friend. I wonder if your Heavenly Devil Island will cooperate with my Half Moon Palace?" Tong Qimei smiled.
"I couldn't ask for more. Thank you, Senior Apprentice Sister Tong!" Yu Shan's eyes curved into crescents as she cupped her fists.
"Haha!
I feel like old friends with Brother Zhuo at first sight. I wonder if our Qiankun Sect can team up with Heavenly Devil Island? "
Unknowingly, Lian Ze had brought the Qiankun Sect's team to Zhuowen. He cupped his fists at Zhuowen with a smile.
"Lian Ze, you are really unkind. I wish I had met Brother Zhuo earlier. Count me in too. Our Chong Xu Peak will also team up with Heavenly Devil Island. Let's see who dares to touch our team?"
Liang Dan, who was not far away, also brought the Chong Xu Peak team to a spot near Lian Ze with a smile. He cupped his fists at Zhuowen politely.
At that moment, all the cultivators were shocked. Tong Qimei's initiative to visit Zhuowen was already shocking enough. Now, Lian Ze from Qiankun Sect and Liang Dan from Chong Xu Peak had actually come to visit as well.
In that case, who exactly was this Zhuowen?
He was actually able to gather the top three geniuses of the Top Ten Geniuses.
Some of the cultivators who originally looked down on Zhuowen changed their minds at that moment. Their gazes towards Zhuowen were filled with fear.
You Tongying's gaze was extremely gloomy. He glanced at Zhuowen with a hint of fear in his heart.
Although he did not know why Tong Qimei, Lian Ze, and Liang Dan, three geniuses who were much stronger than him, would take the initiative to get close to Zhuowen, he also knew that the team that Zhuowen was in now was not to be trifled with. If it was not necessary, it was best not to provoke them.
Tang Chang, on the other hand, was bewildered. He did not expect that Zhuowen, whom he did not think highly of, would actually attract the attention of Tong Qimei, Liang Dan, and Lian Ze at the same time.
He knew that this cultivator named Zhuo Wen must have some kind of secret on him, or there must be something extraordinary about him.
"There's no need to delay any longer. Let's begin!"
The red-nosed old man coughed dryly when he saw that the attention of the cultivators on the arena was all attracted by Zhuowen's side. He hurriedly reminded them.
As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivators on the stage all reacted and began to fight.
Of course, most of the cultivators formed temporary alliances with people they were familiar with. They had to get through this crisis first.
As for the majority of the rogue cultivators, they were in a miserable state. They did not know many people and their strength was low. They were basically the first batch of sacrifices to be eliminated on the stage.
In an instant, the entire arena was in chaos. Screams could be heard one after another, accompanied by figures that were sent flying.
As for the team that Zhuowen was in, they were standing in the center of the arena unscathed. The surrounding contestants simply turned a blind eye to them.
One had to know that the team that Zhuowen was in was a team that gathered the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect, the Half Moon Palace, the Void Peak, and the Heavenly Devil Island. It was a true colossus and could be considered the strongest team in the arena.
In this arena, there was really no one who would be blind enough to provoke such a team.
"Brother Zhuo, how have you been on the Stairway to Heaven since we last met?" Lian Ze cupped his hands and said to Zhuowen in a rather friendly manner.
As for Liang Dan, he was naturally not to be outdone. He also asked about Zhuowen's well-being with great eagerness.
Mo Fan and Yu Shan looked at each other. From Liang Dan and Lian Ze's attitude, how could they not see that Zhuowen had met them before in the trial ground.
Liang Dan, Lian Ze, and Tong Qimei were all on the eighteenth floor. In other words, the fourth light spot on the eighteenth floor must be Zhuowen in front of them.
Thinking of this, the two of them felt dejected. Although Zhuowen's cultivation was not high now, they knew that his potential was far beyond their imagination. As long as Zhuowen was given time, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed them.
Zhuowen cupped his hands and was rather polite. However, he was sneering in his heart.
How could he not know that Liang Dan and Lian Ze were so friendly to him because of the Heavenly Starry Sky Essence in his possession?
Sure enough, after some pleasantries, Lian Ze and Liang Dan respectively sent a message to Zhuowen. They both wanted to buy the Heavenly Starry Sky Essence from Zhuowen, regardless of the price.
Zhuowen was in a dilemma. He sent a message to the two of them and said, "In fact, there is not much Heavenly Starry Sky Essence on the Stairway to Heaven. After Miss Tong took a part of the Heavenly Starry Sky Essence, I don't have much left."
Lian Ze and Liang Dan looked at each other with excitement. They could forget about getting Tong Qimei's part, but they still had a chance to get the Heavenly Starry Sky Essence from Zhuowen.
"Brother Zhuo, we only need one drop of Heavenly Starry Sky Essence!" Liang Dan and Lian Ze quickly said.
"Oh, I can reluctantly take out two drops, but …" Zhuowen deliberately dragged out the word.
"But what?"
Liang Dan and Lian Ze's eyes lit up when they saw that there was hope. They hurriedly sent a message to each other.
"Haha, the two of you have seen it just now. Lei Qi of the Serene Mirage Sect, as well as You Tongying, are all targeting me. As for me, I am actually a straightforward person. If there is something unfair in my heart, I will be very conflicted and unhappy, so..." Zhuo Wen said meaningfully.
Seeing the fox-like smile on Zhuowen's face, Liang Dan and Lian Ze cursed in their hearts. How could they not know what Zhuowen was thinking? He definitely wanted to use them to deal with the disciples of the Dim Fantasy Sect.
However, for the sake of the Heavenly Starry Sky Essence, the two of them had to put on a smiling face and patted their chests to guarantee Zhuowen.
"Haha, if you two are willing, I can give you two drops of Heavenly Starry Sky Essence.
After all, I am just a rogue cultivator who has no one to rely on. Taking such a thing will simply make others jealous. I might as well do you a favour at little cost. It's just that I am a little angry … "
Before Zhuo Wen could finish his words, Liang Dan and Lian Ze's breathing became hurried. They hurriedly said, "Brother Zhuo, don't worry. Your matter is our matter. Since you can't calm down, then fine. We'll help you vent your anger. We'll help you vent it."
With that, Liang Dan and Lian Ze immediately led their respective teams and went straight to You Tongying and the other disciples of the Dim Fantasy Sect who were still fighting not far away.
At first, the two of them were still wary of the power of the Dim Fantasy Sect, but after hearing that Zhuowen intended to give them the Heavenly Starry Sky Essence, the two of them directly went berserk, no longer caring about the Dim Fantasy Sect.
You Tongying and the other disciples also noticed Lian Ze and Liang Dan's teams rushing over. Frowning, You Tongying asked in fear, "Is there something you want?"
"Brothers, beat them up for me. Beat these bastards of the Dim Fantasy Sect to the ground and eliminate them all!"
Liang Dan was extremely straightforward, shouting to the team behind him. Immediately, figures rushed out, heading straight for You Tongying.
"We can't fall behind those people from the Void Flush Peak, lest others say that our Heaven and Earth Sect can't compare to the Void Flush Peak. Everyone, let's go together and beat them up. Do it however you like," Lian Ze called out in an extremely ungentlemanly manner.
